~ Reflections On My Year ~ I can’t believe another year has gone by so fast It doesn’t seem that long since I stood here last The year has brought so much, both smiles and tears But all in all it’s been one of the remarkable years I started it with my heart lying in pieces on the floor I thought I’d be chained, bound there for evermore But with the help of my friends I gathered up me And set about putting those pieces back carefully Another year over, it doesn’t feel twelve months long Since I was singing that Robbie Burns song The year progressed I started to feel once again Although I believe I will always remember the pain But that is good it taught me what I needed to know That sometimes love is more than a flashy glitter show Usually if you can see love when he looks at you Then you’ll know that this love is absolutely true The year is fading fast now it’s almost completely gone And I’ve learnt that eventually hearts do move on That long lost love that I believed was truly true It was nothing when I think of how I feel for you I know now that the world is coloured in rainbow light And I’m dressed from head to toe in sparkling starlight Your words don’t need wrapping in smoky dreams lace Just the words I love you set my heart speeding apace A New Year and I wonder what it will bring to me Will I continue in my life and love quite happily? I'll try to live each moment when it comes, no holding back I’ll be cheerful and not moan about whatever I lack The sun will shine on me and yes the rain will fall And I will relish my life and will heed loves call I thank HIM for giving me the trials and also the tears For it is they which equip me for the coming years Marsha Happy New Year To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 [This message has been edited by Marsha (12-28-2001 07:07 PM).] |

Marsha, I was going to say you sparkle but I guess that's the light reflecting off your sequined dress. But this poem sparkles with all your wit and wisdom. Happy new Year, may it be as dazzling as you. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Yes, you certainly are sparkling aren’t you? It certainly sounds like it has been a wonderful year for you. There’s nothing like a new love to put all the pieces of a heartbreak back together again is there? Best wishes for you for the new year. May it be your most wonderful yet. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

This is a beautiful... yes, it is amazing to think that another year has gone by. They seem to go by quicker with each passing year, eh? Thanks so much for sharing this with us, and thanks for the blessing. Happy New Year to you too, Marsha --Marie "It's been a long December, and there's reason to believe that maybe this year will be better than the last." (Counting Crows) |

Marsha, the only thing better than wishing you a Happy New Year would be to meet you in person and then we would make it so! Sun |

Keth darling sister of my soul, what would I have done without you darling girl. I know we play a dueling game here darling but I want to take the chance to say YOU are a fabulous sister of heart darling No one knows how much you mean to me, but maybe they have an idea. Without you dearest Keth I would have stayed down I think. It was certainly you who held my hand and stood me up again. The sparkle you see darling one is the reflection of the stars in your eyes. YOU always are biased and I love you for it Love and warm stuff As always Slushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

'Deer dear heart thank you, you have added to the fun this year has been. Your poetry has kept me hugely entertained, when I haven't been laughing I've been sobbing. Now that is the mark of a true poet. Someone who involves his readers, who carries them with them throughout his stories. Thank you for them they have been magical If anyone deserves a wonderful year it is you, and may you get all you wish.  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

I can't believe how fast this year has gone either! I'm glad that this year has gone good for you. Your poem was very good. I enjoyed reading it! Happy New Year!!! Noelle "Hold fast to dreams, for is dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly" Langston Hughes |

Dave darling boy, well a lot of water has passed under the brigde kid. I could say a lot about it but I won't. Don't go looking back kid, learn from your mistakes and move on that's what I say. I have moved on, and as for you darling boy I hope your year positively glistens with delight and shines with love. YOU deserve it As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |
